1860-S $20 MS62 NGC. The mintage of 544,950 pieces would
suggest that the 1860-S twenty was heavily circulated, and that is
indeed the case when one looks at the numbers of survivors and
their grade distribution. Hundreds of pieces are known in
circulated grades, but only a few dozen have survived in Mint
State. The present MS62 NGC coin is generally the finest grade one
can expect for an 1860-S. Only two coins have been certified finer,
both at PCGS (3/11). This piece displays the soft, frosted luster
expected but lacks the heavy abrasions often seen on this issue.
The striking definition on Liberty's hair curls shows the expected
softness, a characteristic that occurs not only on this issue but
on many Type One twenties.(Registry
